The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 136 The war is about to begin
Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He had been thinking about how to name the child these days. Long before the child was born, the doctor diagnosed that Hua Zheng was pregnant with twins, both boys.

Tuolei looked at his two nephews and said with a silly smile, "How about I give them a name?"

Guo Jing looked at him with a hint of disdain on his face, "Forget it. Their names have already been decided by the Khan. Even I can't name them."

When Tolui heard that his father was going to name them, he felt disappointed and smiled helplessly, "Okay, then let's wait for my father to name them."

The sound of their talking seemed to have disturbed the baby. They opened their eyes, looked at the strangers in front of them, and suddenly started crying. The loud crying of babies suddenly echoed in the tent.

Seeing this, Li Ping quickly carried the two children to Hua Zheng and frantically tried to comfort them. Faced with this situation, Guo Jing and Tolui stood by and did not dare to breathe, and did not even know how to help.

After a long while, Hua Zheng finally coaxed the two children to sleep. Li Ping then noticed the two people standing aside like wooden figures and scolded them angrily, "Get out! Hua Zheng just gave birth, she needs to rest well and come back later."

Tuo Lei had an embarrassed look on his face and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, auntie, we'll go first." Then he pulled Guo Jing away as well.

Guo Jing was looking at the two children when he was suddenly pulled out by Tuolei. He stared at them and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Come on, I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, he went out with him.

In the tent, Li Ping looked at her two little grandsons with a kind smile on her face. In just one year, her son got married, had a wife, had a child, and avenged his father. Now, even if she died, she could rest in peace.

……

In another tall yurt, servants brought roasted lamb and milk wine. Tuolei and Guo Jing sat opposite each other. They first filled their stomachs. Tuolei spoke first, "Guo Jing, Hua Zheng gave birth smoothly and everything is fine. You should think about what to do in the future."

"Since you came back, you haven't seen Father Khan once. In recent days, we have been mobilizing food and grass to prepare for war with the Kingdom of Jin. You are not only Father Khan's son-in-law, but also a captain under him. You will definitely go to the battlefield this time."

Guo Jing put down the mutton in his hand and frowned slightly. He knew that Tolui was telling the truth. It had been nearly a month since he came back, and he had never met Genghis Khan once. Unconsciously, as his mind expanded, he became more and more wary of Genghis Khan.

If he met Genghis Khan, he would definitely ask me about the situation in the Song Dynasty, but what should I say? Should I say that the Song Dynasty was corrupt, its military was in disrepair, and it was vulnerable?
Is the Song Dynasty strong enough to be an ally of Mongolia?

He was very clear about the consequences of unequal strength. Some things could be seen at a glance. He did not want Genghis Khan to have ambitions against the Song Dynasty, otherwise there would be a very brutal war in the future.

"Isn't it too hasty to start a war so soon?"

Tuolei sighed deeply, and a maturity that did not match his age appeared on his young face. "We can't help it. The high priest predicted that there will be heavy snow on the grassland this winter. If it really snows heavily, I don't know how many cattle and sheep will be lost. If we can't grab enough food, many people in the tribe will have a hard time surviving this winter."

Guo Jing was silent. He had lived on the grassland for more than ten years and knew the consequences of the snow disaster. Going south was their only chance. They could either consume a large number of young and strong men in the war or grab enough food and grass to survive the winter. Otherwise, the entire tribe would suffer heavy losses.

Genghis Khan had just established the Mongolian Empire. If he lost too many people this winter, it would be a great blow to his prestige. It is also possible that the priests made a wrong prediction, but Genghis Khan did not dare to gamble or that fighting with the Jin Kingdom was just what he wanted. The grasslands were different from the Central Plains dynasties. The grassland tribes lived by the water and grass and did not pay much attention to their roots.

When fighting, the tribes would often follow the army, driving their cattle and sheep and eating wherever they went. This is how the history books recorded that a certain grassland regime sent hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the south.

Guo Jing knew that he had to go to see Genghis Khan, so he said, "Anda, don't worry, I will definitely fight against the Jin people this time. I will go to see the Khan, don't worry."

Tuo Lei reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling, "Father Khan thinks highly of you, you must not let him down. This time you brought a lot of Han people from the south, I'm afraid you have a lot of soldiers at your disposal."

"They don't know how to ride horses, so they can't participate in the battle in the short term. They can only be used to defend the camp. The most elite troops are the thirteen wing cavalry of Mongolia under the command of the Khan. They are really powerful."

Tuolei smiled embarrassedly and said, "Just because you can't go to the battlefield now doesn't mean you won't be able to use them in the future. In my opinion, if these Han people under your command are trained well, they can also be an elite force."

Guo Jing's heart skipped a beat and he joked, "Why? You want to practice one too?"

Tuo Lei chuckled and said to him in a boastful tone, "I don't think highly of them. In this war, my father Khan will assign a team of his elite troops to me. Then I will find some people in the tribe to form an army. Aren't they stronger than the Han people under your command?"

"That's right. Cavalry is still superior in grassland battles. Congratulations. You can finally lead the troops."

"My father has always told me to learn from you. You are almost my age and have made so many contributions, but I have only been on the battlefield a few times. I can't let you outshine me."

As they spoke, the two smiled at each other and drank the milk wine in the bowl.

……

In the Golden Tent of the Mongolian Khanate, Genghis Khan sat on the throne, wielding his sword and horse with a mighty momentum, looking like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling. Guo Jing stood in front of him, bowing his head slightly with an attitude of respect.

Seeing him like this, Genghis Khan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he asked in a gentle tone, "Is Zheng'er okay?"

"My mother is taking care of her now. She should be fine after she rests for a while."

Genghis Khan smiled kindly, "You are so lucky to have two sons. Have you thought of any names for them?"

Guo Jing smiled sheepishly, "I can't think of a good name, please give me one, Khan."

"You are a heroic boy, and your sons will definitely be more powerful than you in the future. The older one will be named Gede and the younger one will be named Chi Na. What do you think?" Although it was just a discussion, the meaning revealed in the tone was not to be refuted.

Guo Jing agreed without thinking. Anyway, Genghis Khan gave people Mongolian names, so he only needed a Chinese name. Burigede means eagle in Mongolian, and China means wolf.
